GÀRDIN-INGA
Vaikko váris it birgen šat
Vaikko muitu leai hedjonan
Vaikko bealjit eai gullan šat
Vaikko juolggit eai guotte šat
De mii muitit du
De mii oaidnit du
De mii dovdat du
Min Gárdin-áhkku
Vaikko gorut leai vuollánan
Vaikko vuoiŋŋa ii nákcen šat
De mii muitit du
De mii oaidnit du
De mii dovdat du
Min Gárdin-áhkku
Áhkku doppe gos don leat dál
lea dutnje bálká Ipmilis
go don leat rahčan eatnamis
Mii giitit du dán eallimis
Don leat min Gárdin- áhkku
GÁRDIN ÁHKKU / GRANDMOTHER INGA
Even if you couldn´t live in the mountains anymore
Even if the memory had weakened
Even if the ears didnt hear anymore
Even if the legs didn´t carry anymore
We remember you
We see you
We know you
Our grandmother Inga
Even if the body had given up
Even if the breath resigned
We remember you
We see you
We know you
Our grandmother Inga
Grandmother, the place where you are now
is your reward from God
for all your struggles on earth
We thank you for this life
You are our grandmother Inga

HIRAS /DEMURE
You have to find me
Would you look for me?
I won´t come by myself
If you want to talk
Would you ask me?
I don´t respond by myself
I am so demure and fragile
You have to come closer
come closer
to hear me
I don´t believe in anything
I don´t have an opinion
If you don´t tell me what
I am so demure and fragile
I don´t trust anyone
I don´t have faith in anyone
not even myself
I´m not able to do anything
I can´t do anything
If you don´t accompany me
Njielasáttu / Quicksand
Gos bođii diet luohti maid munnje juiget
Gos bođii diet luohti maid munnje bidjet
Silbajohka mii čilge buot
Mo gávdnet dien balvva maid munnje vižžet
Litna vielgat go girdilin
Njielasáttu
Gos iđii diet dolla maid munnje čájehit
Šerres rukses go mannen galmmas
Njielasáttu
Lean njiellasan sáddui
Dieđán lean boahtán riekta go don munnje
sávat bures boahtima njielasáddui
Njielasáttu / Quicksand
Where did the yoik you yoiked to me come from
Where did the yoik you gave me come from
Silver river explains it all
How did you find that cloud you brought me
Soft white when I soar
Quicksand
Where did the fire you showed me come from
Bright red when I swoon
Quicksand
I am stuck in quicksand
I know I have come to the right place
because you welcome me into quicksand
LYNXIE
Čáppat ja goargat

LYNXIE
Beautiful and regal
You decide for yourself
Strong and stubborn
Intense eyes watching
Self – loving
Presents are given to you when you allow
You hunt when you want to
Teach me to savor with you!
Forceful and soft
Taking care of your own universe
JÀVKAN/VANISHED
Váillahii ja váikkuhii
Vurddii ja ozai ja viimmat
gávdnan lei, gávdnan lei
Hálidii ja vásihii
Visot maid áibbašii
Ožžon lea, ožžon
Niegada ja čađaha
Doaivva viimmat ollašuvvan
Bieđgana, moallana
Hálida ja oamasta
Ráhkaduvvon ilbmi
jávkan lea, jávkan, jávkan lea
JÀVKAN / VANISHED
Longed for and influenced
Waited, searched and finally
was found, was found
Wanted and happened
everything longed for
attained, attained
Dreamt and pursued
Hopes that finally are realized
crushed, broken
Wants and owns
an invented universe
is vanished, vanished, is vanished
Stálu fápmu
Skábmačuovga fátmmasta visot
Stállu givrodagainis balddiha
Seavdnjadasas násttit ja mánnu
Gollehit šerres muohttaga
Dálvejorggáldagas davvin
Jođaša stállu ráidduin
Stálu fápmu - Stálu fápmu
Šillju jalgat vai stállu fiškkiha meattá
Čázi bija olggos vai duhtá

Stállus kraft
Mørketidens lys omfavner alt
Stallu med sin styrke skremmer
Stjernene og månen i mørket
- lager gullskjær i skinnende snø
Vintersolverv i nord
Stállu er på ferd med sin raid
Stállus kraft – stállus kraft
Ryddig utenfor huset så stállu fyker forbi
Sett vann utenfor så han blir fornøyd
Han er der om du drar for å ake
under bakken for å få fangst i sekken
Vintersolverv i nord
Stállu er på ferd med sin raid
Stállus kraft – stállus kraft

Uldá niktá / Uldá allures
Rain of leaves in the hair
water of gold in the eyes
Dressed in gákti (sami dress)
Tempting with richness
The mountain calls your name
luring you with yoik
to dance in the haze
warm summernights
Uldá allures
Midsummernight feast
summer has no end
if you haven´t noticed the tail
silver will not save you
Uldá allures
Ulda
Ulda is a Sámi mythical creature. They live underground in their own realm overflowing with wealth and richness. If you come across the ulda´s reindeer heard and manage to capture it by throwing a knife over it you will get wealthy. To men Ulda is irresistible with their long flowing hair and is usually dressed in the most beautiful gákti (sámi dress), with their tail hidden under the gákti. They would lure people to the underworld and keep them there forever. In Nordic mythology the uldas come and dance in the mist on the brightest day of the year, the midsummer night. Human beings who joined this feast were unlikely to return to the real world. If you find yourself in their realm you shall never drink or eat anything there. Ulda are said to exchange human infants with their own babies and Sámis use silver for protection which are hanged on cribs.

Čábbáseamos báiki / Beautiful place
Peacefully I sit here
Fire is burning
Wood is crackling in the embers
Smoke is dancing
A still lake is my mirror
The wind is howling
Lingonberry heathers my bed
Flowers my decor
The most beautiful place
Stars in the place of street-lamps
Birds are gossiping
Smoke from the fire burns the eyes
instead of exhaust
The most beautiful place
Look how everything foul dissapears in the water
look how it dissapears in the air
In this world nothing bad survives
Clouds in the sky tell a story
like a program
Path without asphalt
This is how it is
in the most beatiful place
